English version 1. Why did Bertrand Zibi Abeghe become a marked man in 2012? The fertile lands of Haut-Ntem in particular and Woleu-Ntem in general, were given to Olam for the development of rubber plantations; a project that met a fierce opposition from Bertrand Zibi Abeghe who had become a parliamentarian representing that area. He explains that people around Ali Bongo had interests in Olam and gave to this multinational Gabonese land. He was also the first Gabonese Member of Parliament to denounce the role of the ANGT as a nebula that consumed large budgets without producing results. 2. Why did he have to act in this manner on 23 July 2016? Bertrand Zibi Abeghe says that he did not disrespect anybody. But Ali Bongo is autistic, he refuses to listen to anyone and this had left him no choice but to take responsibility and tell him what he thought of his governance, in public and in a direct way. Ali Bongo likes to monologue and does not accept any remarks made to him. Ali Bongo said he wa…

English Version Our compatriot Julie Marie Biloghe Bi Nze Ndong, an Ali Bongo Minister, and native of Minvoul, is having a very bad time. Indeed, since it is she who supervised Ali Bongo’s tour in her native region of Minvoul, she had to make sure everything went as planned, that is to say without false notes . Therefore, Julie Marie Biloghe Bi Nze Ndong is afraid of being held responsible for the “zibilisatrice” slap administered to Ali Bongo on 23 July 2016 in Bolossoville. She is afraid of having to pay with her job for this humiliation of Ali Bongo. She has undertaken to do everything to “dezibilise” the situation. Along with other PDG members from Minvoul, she went on state television to denounce the act “zibilisateur” of 23 July. But unfortunately for PDgists, the “zibilisation” is indelible, that is to say, it cannot be erased. Even going to organize marches in support of Ali Bongo in Minvoul, as Marie Julie Biloghe Bi Nze Ndong promises to do, the zibilisation will remain whole.

English Version 1. What happened in 2009? In 2009, Bertrand Zibi Abeghe two godfathers clashed. But the latter was closer to Ali Bongo and participated in his campaign in his favorite role of controlling the youth. Ali Bongo told him during a campaign meeting in the presence of Leon Paul Ngoulakia and Pascaline Bongo, that he was coming to power to repair all his father’s errors. But when the campaign began, Mba Obame exploded and that created a problem because he ended up winning the election. The day of the proclamation of the election’s results, on 3 September 2009, the GR or the military charged the members of the opposition. In the ensuing panic, Mba Obame was exfiltrated to a secret location. At 2:00 am, Mba Obame called Bertrand Zibi Abeghe and asked to meet him alone at a specified location in the neighborhood of Nzeng-Ayong, although he was not in his campaign team. André Mba Obame asked him to contact some of his lieutenants and with their assistance, to help defuse the anger of…

English Version Dear readers, we propose a reading between the lines of the interview Bertrand Zibi Abeghe gave to TV+. We highlight the facts that seem salient. This is about understanding the journey of this fellow because the situation we face today has nothing to do with chance and is the culmination of a series of events, decisions, compromises and shortcuts, by a group of individuals who have allowed the dictatorship to settle and prosper in Gabon. It is not until a disease is well understood that it can be treated. Some people like this fellow, were the cannon fodder of the machine that grinds us all. The moral of the story is that this system always ends up turning against its children. Look at what happened to André Mba Obame, René Ndemezo'Obiang and others. To the young emergent rolling on today, we say: to the wise...

English Version Lawyer Francis Nkéa of the Gabonese bar, was defending Ali Bongo during the recent hearings of the Constitutional Court on motions to quash Ali Bongo’s candidacy for the August 2016 presidential election. The petitioners' arguments were summarized as follows: 1. What is the meaning of Article 10 of the Constitution? 2. Ali Bongo was born where and when? What is the document complying with the law and procedures that attests this? 3. When the 2009 birth certificate was established, on the basis of which document was the transcription made? Did that document meet the legal and procedural standards? 4. When Ali Bongo recognized on an international radio that his 2009 birth certificate is fake, there's evidence it better to provide that the document is actually a fake? 4. When Ali Bongo recognized on an international radio program that his 2009 birth certificate was fake, what better evidence is there to provide that could prove that the doc…

English Version We are observing, amused, the antics of the Constitutional Court which is currently auditioning for the annulment of Ali Bongo candidacy for the presidential election of 2016. We are amused by this spectacle, because we all know that this Court is not a Republican institution but a political assembly having a defined role in the workings of the Bongo system. This Court cannot in any case saw off the branch on which it is literally sitting; making it a highly political court, unable to succeed in its mission to apply the law according to the Constitution. If we take history as our guide for predicting what might happen, we would see that since its establishment in the early 90s, the Constitutional Court of Gabon has never taken a single decision against the person at the head of the state that gave it birth; yet there have been several violations of the constitution. We do not believe that this trend is about to change. These ongoing auditions are asking the Constitutional…

English Version In the previous post, we presented the act of resignation of MP Bertrand Zibi Abeghe, as symbolizing the awakening of a Gabonese consciousness. In this post below, we want to analyze in retrospect this act, coldly. 1. Why leave the PGD now? It is possible that as a PDG parliamentarian under the leadership of Guy Nzouba Ndama, with the resignation of the latter, and the consolidation of the movement Heritage and Modernity, Bertrand Zibi Abeghe has found that the PDG was reduced to being only a caravan for distributing small denomination of CFA, bread, cans of sardines and T-shirts; and that some of his colleagues of the PDG, who had not dared to follow him when he opposed alone, the Olam rubber project in Minvoul and Woleu-Ntem, were now agreeing with him that it was necessary to end the systematic plundering of our resources and the theft of our land, by a small group located within the regime. To keep his independence from any tendency of the PDG or the opposition, and p…
